Abstract:
Mixing accounts for the major part of the biogas plant’s own energy requirement. Usually, no information about the mixing quality is available. Local measurements like magnetic-inductive sensors or drag bodies equipped with strain gauges have been used to gain insight into the global mixing quality. However, there is a lack of understanding, where to position these sensors to get the best correlation between the local measurement and a global quantity for the interpretation of the flow behavior or the mixing quality. This work aims to find positions for a measurement system of the mixing quality to get the optimum correlation between a local speed measurement and a global mixing quality parameter.
